I loved Windows Media Encoder but it won't work with Windows 7. 
Any suggestions?

Look up CamStudio.
It can be fussy, depending on what you're doing, but it may work and its free.
I havent been able to find any others, really.

Thanks Aimee, I checked out a tutorial on CamStudio. I may try messing around with it tomorrow.

I know this topic is old. But if you are looking to do for 3D games, I found a new program which works quite well:

The author site is down. Softpedia is safe though.
Two notes. Since the documentation is on the gone author site it's a lot of messing around and figuring out things:
a) It uses its own video codec unless you set otherwise. It includes a converter but if you're in a hurry I found you can drop the video into Windows Movie Maker and just export it there. I'd change it but the other codecs came out a little weird on me.
b) Look around in the preferences before starting. Somewhere you will be able to set the priority to either "play" or "capture (limit FPS)." Always use capture or both your game and the video will be a chopped-up mess and any video you do get will be unpresentable. Also, if it is a choppy mess despite this, just drop the resolution of the game a bit and see if that helps.

I've been using CamStudio lately (after finally getting the audio & video configurations to work properly). Of course I haven't actually made any YouTube videos since I figured it out but will when I have more time/motivation to.
